Super 11s hurling set for another trip stateside

The GPA’s Super 11s hurling concept is set to return to Boston next November with a strong possibility of two games taking place.

Last staged 13 months ago, AIG are again expected to sponsor the event at Fenway Park. Dublin and Galway are being touted to face off once more after their controversial clash in the city. All-Ireland champions Tipperary and Waterford are also being lined up to square off at the home of the Boston Red Sox.

Designed in part by former GPA chairman and current coach Dónal Óg Cusack, Super 11s is a variation of hurling, pitting teams of 11 players against one another over four periods of 12 minutes. It was designed to be played in venues where the pitch size is smaller than a hurling field.
